Abstract (en)
The present invention relates to a sample collection device (200; 3200) for collecting a sample (500) of a fluid of a user (400), e.g. blood, the sample collection device (200; 3200) comprising:- a sample container (212) arranged to receive said sample (500) and comprising an open end (2121);- a triggering mechanism (209, 210, 209', 210', 211);- a cap (202) arranged to cooperate with said sample container (212) so as to close said open end (2121), said cap (202) being arranged to be moved in and/or on the sample container (212) from a first cap position to a second cap position, wherein in the first and in the second cap positions said cap (202) is at least partially in contact with said sample container (212) so as to guide the movement of the cap (202) from the first cap position to the second cap position, said cap (202) comprising:- a collection window (205) arranged to enter in contact with an area of the user (400) to be incised;- an incision mechanism (203, 204, 206) movable in the cap (202) by said triggering mechanism (209, 210, 209', 210', 211) from a first incision mechanism position to a second incision mechanism position, wherein during said moving the incision mechanism (203, 204, 206) is arranged to incise at the collection window (205) the area of the user (400) so as to exit the sample (500) from the user (400), said sample (500) being received by said sample container (212), and wherein during the moving from the first incision mechanism position to the second incision mechanism the cap (202) is in the first cap position, and- a sealing mechanism, so as to seal said sample container (212) when the cap (202) is in the second cap position, so as to safely transport said sample (500), wherein said incision mechanism (203, 204, 206) further comprises a support element (3203) comprising a rotatable cutting blade (3206), said cutting blade (3206) comprising a cutting edge (3206a) having an acute end (3206b) and a rounded end (3206c),wherein, when in the first incision mechanism position, the cutting blade (3206) is maintained in the sample container (212), so as to ensure the safety of the user (400) and/or of an operator.
